...Union may never become a true Common Market airline. Britain's BOAC and BEA have announced that they will not join even if Britain enters the Com mon Market. The Netherlands' KLM, which walked out of the negotiations three years ago in disgust over its allotted share of the revenues, now seems anxious to jump back in-but on its own terms. But even if only the present four lines join Air Union, their reduced costs will give them an advantage in competition with U.S. overseas airlines. This argument is sure to be made when...
Many of the observers were met at the airports by Dutch Monsignor Jan Willebrands, assistant to Augustin Cardinal Bea, the elderly Jesuit Biblical scholar who heads the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity.

Apart from unity-minded Cardinal Bea, the liberals have few friends in the Vatican Curia, but they do include such articulate prelates as Tanganyika's Laurean Cardinal Rugambwa, Utrecht's Bernard Jan Cardinal Alfrink, Montreal's Cardinal Léger, Munich's Julius Cardinal Döpfner, a clear majority of the bishops in France, The Netherlands, Germany...
